Do not confuse split() and strip() methods. This is easy to do, even for
native English speakers, so be extra careful. In your earlier code, you
used strip(), which removes leading and trailing whitespace:
>>> L = ' 0001110011 \n' # ends with a newline
>>> L.strip()
'0001110011'
Compare split:
>>> L = "001110101 0011110 011011110"
>>> L.split()
['001110101', '0011110', '011011110']
You get a list of strings. If there is no whitespace in the string, you
get a list containing one string:
>>> L = "0011101010011110011011110"
>>> L.split()
['0011101010011110011011110']

The interactive interpreter is your best friend in the world. You should
learn to use it to answer simple questions, and count yourself lucky
that Python has an interactive interpreter. Not all languages do.
>>> L = "001110"
>>> for c in L:
... print c
...
0
0
1
1
1
0
c is just a name like any other name:
>>> L = "001110"
>>> for c in L:
... if c == '1':
... c = 'Surprise!'
... print c
...
0
0
Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise!
